John Protevi: Towards rhizomatic acts of mutual empowerment

What are the psychological aspects of how military combat personnel are often socialized in training to feel more comfortable with carrying out acts of violence? Why is it important to note that many people, not just those in positions of power, actually desire fascism and power imbalance, and aren't simply operating from states of being deceived? In this episode, we speak with John Protevi of Regimes of Violence: Toward a political anthropology. Join us as we explore the nuances of violence in regimes and their roots, while landing on what it means to partake in joyful, rhizomatic acts of mutual empowerment.
